We had a great time hosting our Live Line Trailer demonstration for local first responders! ⚡️
This hands-on training gave them a close-up look at real-life electrical hazards—like what happens when a vehicle comes into contact with a live line, when a ladder touches an energized line, and even how something as small as a squirrel can cause big problems in power infrastructure.
As we recognize Electrical Safety Month this May, we’re proud to partner with those who help keep our communities safe every day. Training like this makes a difference when it matters most.
Thank you to all who participated! ... See MoreSee Less
